SC in the OC

Today was a very fun day at the beach. On the tandem ride this morning with Jensen we didn't go very fast. But, at one point we fell in with a group of 4 riders and stayed on their tail. When they figured out we were there they tried to up the pace to shake us off. But, they just succeeded in dropping the two slower riders and we stayed with the two leaders for a mile or two until we came to one of the sharp rises.
I took the big board down to the beach and used it for just a couple of minutes. Mostly the water skills are still there. But, some surfing specific muscles are not in shape.
I just sat on the sand for a while and played with Laney. She ended up putting sand all over me to make a sugar cookie.
Later I was walking down the beach and ran into Dori and Tyler Childs from family camp. We had a good time chatting with them. They had seen Ailsa and recognized her even though it has been about 4 years since they had seen her.
Laney is being quite adventurous and brave, going out in the waves fairly far. There has been a bit of a jellyfish infestation this year. I was trying to show one to Laney and it washed across her foot and stung her. At least she got to go see the cute lifeguards for some diluted vinegar treatment. Within 15 minutes she had forgotten about it and was back playing.
